A top price for Peggy Bacon

In August this year Christies in Sydney held the auction Tales of the City: New York Prints and Photographs of the Early 20th Century, which included the work A Few Ideas by Peggy Bacon. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,528.00 (€ 3,254.91), 18% above the upper estimate.
